What is an integrative pediatrician?

"Integrative Medicine is the practice of medicine that reaffirms the importance of the relationship between practitioner and patient, focuses on the whole person, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, healthcare professionals and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing."

- Developed and Adopted by the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine, May 2004; Edited May 2005

Integrative pediatricians subscribe the above philosophy in providing comprehensive, holistic care to children and families. We believe that the bond and communication between pediatrician, child and family is crucial. Furthermore, the interaction of each child with his or her environment is key. For more on integrative pediatrics, read this Whole Child post.

The following is a list of practitioners who have identified themselves as integrative pediatricians. While we absolutely support the concept of integrative pediatric care, the IPC does not in any way evaluate or endorse the care delivered by anyone listed below.
